Hidden roof is the best - roof is protected by the walls. even with a 20 degree angle it is still protected and survive the super typhoon.
a house with a 50 degree angel roof can survive a super typhoon like yolanda, while 18 degree angel roof can not since the roof sheet is almost horizontal to the wind direction thus lifting it from the fram.
another house with an 18 degree angel roof is damage since the roof sheet is almost horizontal to the wind direction
60 degree angel roof survives a super typhoon yoland.
Letter A frame or 65 degree angle house can survive a super typhoon wind.
but if you hide the roof altogether between concrete walls then this must be the ultimate roof protection against typhoon like yolanda.
HI, have you got any theoretical proof that the 60degree pitched roof is good in cyclones? I agree with you it is better. But to convince designers I am looking for a scientific proof.
